NIACTECT
NIACTECT: Rumen-Protected Niacin for Optimal Energy Metabolism in Dairy Cows
NIACTECT delivers 50% niacin with 80% rumen protection and 100% intestinal bioavailability. Discover how this innovative supplement supports energy balance and reduces ketosis risk in dairy cows.
What Is NIACTECT?
NIACTECT is an advanced rumen-protected niacin supplement, designed for high-performing dairy cows during critical periods such as transition and peak lactation. Each micro-pellet contains 50% niacin, coated to ensure 80% rumen protection and 100% intestinal release, maximizing its metabolic benefits where it’s most needed.
Key Product Features:
- 50% Active Niacin (Vitamin B3)
- 80% Rumen Protection
- 100% Intestinal Degradability
- Pellet Form: White, 3–5 mm in size
- High Density: 1.22 g/cm³ for improved passage rate and reduced rumen retention
Why Rumen-Protected Niacin Matters
Niacin plays a key role in energy metabolism, lipid mobilization, and vascular function. In high-producing dairy cows, especially in early lactation, unprotected niacin is mostly degraded in the rumen. Rumen-protected niacin like NIACTECT ensures that a significant portion bypasses the rumen and is absorbed in the small intestine.
Benefits of Using NIACTECT
- Supports Energy Balance
NIACTECT helps reduce negative energy balance (NEB) during the transition period, decreasing the incidence of metabolic disorders such as ketosis and fatty liver.
- Enhances Lipid Metabolism
By regulating non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels, it supports better fat mobilization and minimizes liver fat accumulation.
- Improves Blood Flow and Thermoregulation
Niacin is known to promote vasodilation, which may help reduce the negative effects of heat stress in dairy cows.
- Optimized Delivery System
The pellet’s high density (1.22 g/cm³) increases its passage rate through the rumen, ensuring rapid exit and high intestinal absorption without interfering with rumen fermentation.
Feeding Recommendations
- Target Species: Dairy cows in transition, early lactation, or under heat stress
Suggested Dosage: 6–12 grams per cow per day (based on diet formulation and production level)
- Feeding Method: TMR inclusion or top-dressing; stable under standard mixing and pelleting
Note: Consult your livestock nutritionist for customized inclusion rates.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main role of NIACTECT in dairy cows?
NIACTECT improves energy metabolism and helps prevent ketosis during early lactation.
Is NIACTECT safe to use with other supplements?
Yes. It is compatible with most feed additives and vitamins when used at recommended levels.
Why is rumen protection important for niacin?
Rumen microbes degrade unprotected niacin. Rumen-protected forms ensure targeted delivery to the intestine.
How does the pellet form improve functionality?
The 3–5 mm pellets with a density of 1.22 g/cm³ reduce rumen retention and improve bypass efficiency.
Conclusion
NIACTECT offers a highly effective solution for delivering rumen-protected niacin to dairy cows during metabolically demanding stages. With its superior protection, full intestinal availability, and efficient pellet design, NIACTECT stands as a scientifically advanced, economically sound tool to enhance performance, health, and profitability in modern dairy herds.
